As an alternative ways to promote YouTube videos is to post videos straight to Facebook and make it easy for others to find you on YouTube. How to do it:
1. Start by taking a sizable, attention-grabbing screenshot or a screen capture of the YouTube video. Alternately, you can create a little video teaser or utilise the thumbnail as an alternative.
2. Make a post on Facebook using the image or video clip, but hold off on publishing it.
3. Using bitly.com, shorten the URL of your video on YouTube.
4. Include text in the Facebook post instructing viewers how to access the complete video on YouTube. Paste the abbreviated link you made at the end of the text. (Always upload the image or video before pasting the short link in the post so that Facebook doesn’t see it as a link.
5. Check to see that everything appears good before posting.
